i just wanted to hear some feed back from others and their point of view on both aspects of a boosted k series. well the project so far, i bought a 06 tsx 2.4L k24a2 and im gonna boost it for fun and a project, now i love the turbo but i also love superchargers for raw power. i just wanted to hear from some fellow boosted k engine people and see how they liked or love their turbo or supercharger. any and all input is appreciated thanks alot

i'd recommend a turbo charge honestly for a tsx

[Raid3n]

If i were you i'd go Turbo charged . The only advantage to a supercharger is that the powerband is very consistent even at low rpm, but on a honda engine that thrives at high rpm the turbo will be spooled constantly and with quality parts there will be minimal lag. Plus, I don't think, I know anyone making 300-400whp on a supercharged k, when there are tons of people doing it with turbos.

hope this info help

but this is going in a k24a2.....they are not really a high reving engine.....if i was to rebuild my k20 hell ya turbo it would be

[JayDub]

oh also i have a acura rsx type s and i bought a tsx engine (k24a2) to swap in.....just to clarify

[Shanook]

i'd still turbo charge it instead.

another thing turbo can make a cool sounds with the BOV

[JayDub]

yea its just ARG haha so hard to make up my mind, i think this k24 will be a supercharger and my k20 i take out ill rebuild it fully and make it turbo? sound like a plan? how is it fun with a turbo if you cant high rev haha

[JayDub]

also could you guys help do some research, im looking all over and my best to figure out stuff with this k24. now i know with a supercharger and this engine i dont have to do anything at all, all the internals are strong enough to handle 11-12psi but if i go turbo and im thinking about it, should i get forged rods pistons new head? re due the internals? cuz this engine only has 30,000kms on it so its hardly broke in. so much reading :S

[Shanook]

i wouldnt think you would need to re do all the internals unless there really is something wrong? but with 30k KM i wouldnt be too worried. you gotta break it in lol then beat on it >=)

good advice raid3n

[JayDub]

yea i think im gonna go turbo i had the setup closer to s/c but i cant say no to the sound of the BOV just to damn sexy, and money is just money right? cant keep it forever haha. in your guy's opinion whats the best brand for t/c? Greddy?

[vip_Justin]

why not throw the k20 heads on the k24 so you get that high rev with the bigger displacement??
